| Format | LONG_FORM |
| Description | Use the LONG_FORM directive to have the ProvideX compiler's input-parsing routine accept long variable names (default mode). The complementary directive is SHORT_FORM, which allows only short variable names. You can write programs in either SHORT_FORM or LONG_FORM or a combination of both. You can also run programs in either mode. |
